Details for Black Duck Inn - the way Maine used to be

Surrounding Area

The Black Duck is located on the Schoodic Peninsula, home to the only mainland section of Acadia National Park and also hosts a portion of the Petite Manan National Wildlife Refuge. The Peninsula has nearly 5 lighthouses located within its bounds or off shore. Schoodic consists of several small fishing villages like Corea - the scenery is some of the best in Maine with hiking trails nearby, as well as fabulous kayaking waters and scenery for painting and photography. Only 45 minutes from Mt. Desert Island, the main part of Acadia National Park. Other wildlife refuges are not far away. Campobello Island, FDR's old summer estate is only about 1.5 hrs, north/east in the Canadian Province of New Brunswick, across an "international" bridge. That area hosts 2 incredible lighthouses and amazing coastal scenery and makes a terrific day trip.

Accommodations

The Black Duck is sited on over 12 acres of rock outcrop, heath, blueberry fields, harbor frontage and hidden bays. We have several nature trails throughout the property and direct access to Corea Harbor. You might see one of our foxes, deer, even perhaps a moose.Corea has been described as a "healing" place .The b&b itself is a restored seaman's home, added on to over the years in a typically New England fashion. It is furnished with antiques and contemporary art, oriental rugs, and has an eclectic but warm feel to it. We have a library area, a TV area, 2 large sitting rooms, and since we only have 4 guest rooms in the house, there are places to hide and read, write or just relax should the weather be foggy or in the evenings. We provide a guest refrigerator and ice as well as glasses and wine openersWe also manage other rental properties: see web site
